It provides basis for reuse, decisions made can be transferred to similar systems especially in an inheritance situation [19, 28]. It provides a solid foundation which the complex structure of software is built on after considering key scenarios, common problems of designs and long term effect of decisions taken in selecting the architecture [13]. 2.1.2 Architectural Design This applies to all architectures, most of the time the genre(category) of the software dictates the architectural…
a combination of architectures, has become the focus of efforts to accelerate the simulation of particle methods. The GPU was initially designed to accelerate graphics processing, nevertheless, from the mid-2000s, it becomes a more generalized computing device that promises accelerate codes that demand high computational power at lower cost. Despite the known challenges to speedup linear system solutions using GPU, in 2011, Hori et al. cite{Hori-2011} developed a GPU-accelerated version of…
Presentation Rationale Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to persuade my audience that businesses can benefit from moving services and infrastructure to cloud based computing platforms. I want to portray that businesses will have less staff to maintain and much lower technology costs are incurred from technology purchases and replacement cycles, by not housing hardware on premises. This also benefits them by having lower application downtime due to resources spread redundantly across…
Long-term objectives Professional Objective My professional or career objectives include attaining the level of IT Vice President in a Fortune 50 company within five years. In particular, I want to lead international IT operations for a transnational company. To achieve this, I need to maintain an ‘exceeding’ rating on my annual performance reviews. Financial objective As an IT Vice President, I want to earn $250,000 per year, with a 40% annual bonus, and a 40% stock options grant.…
that 's why technology is preparing students for the real world. Here’s a graph showing demand for computing jobs Furthermore technology makes students more responsible as well. “Students must take care of the technology equipment, which can be viewed as a privilege. It is also important for students to learn to protect the technology resources” (Education…
Given the technologies available, why have those in the public safety space largely failed to capitalize on the opportunities available? Investments have been made, with over half (56%) of public safety organizations stating they have had mobile solutions in place for longer than five years. However, the level of adoption varies largely, and many organizations pursue a reactive rather than proactive approach to mobility for a number of reasons. Perhaps most notably, the fragmented nature of the…
From the data center, to the cloud, fog, and mist, the nature of data storage and access has transformed quite a bit over recent history. Although most would agree that the capabilities distributed computing have brought to society are quite expansive, every piece of technology always brings with it concerns and questions. Much like the French Philosopher Paul Virilio who stated, “When you invent the ship, you invent the shipwreck,” [1] the introduction of distributed ways of sharing and…
In the beginning there were only five members and it took the company a year to get the first electric pole up and ready for service. They spent the next decade developing their memberships, trustees and employees and learn how to function as an organization. After WWII the company really started to develop by hiring more employees, purchasing trucks and installing new services. In the 1960’s is really were you see the most growth in the company. In that year the doubled there service territory…
According to Walter Isaacson, author of “The Innovators”, some early women influencers in computing included Ada Lovelace, and Grace Hopper (Isaacson, 2014). She observed while working with Charles Babbages on his calculating machine, that it beyond just calculating numbers, it could support anything symbolically, including music, and word processing. Ms. Lovelace (1815-1852) was a gifted computer programmer and mathematician that was considered to have written instructions for the first…
assignment 4, the student implements a distributed system with dozens of worker processes that share common data files and cooperate to compute edit-distances for pairs of strings provided by a Resource Manager. The worker processes are in charge of computing the edit-distance for a pair of strings; the resource manager process provides the pairs of strings one at a time and saves the output sent by the workers in the shared storage resource. To support an acceptable level of fault tolerance, a…
